Ibibio Sound Machine's production collaboration with Hot Chip gets another single in the form of 'Protection From Evil', which comes ahead of the March album Electricity. 

The new cut is a futuristic piece of strobing synth featuring—as always—'70's African influences and—in this case—frontwoman Eno Williams singing in tongues.

Of their involvement in producing the record, Hot Chip said that "the songs on this record are uniformly great, and we were really happy to be a part of making it."

1. Protection From Evil
2. Electricity
3. Casio (Yak Nda Nda)
4. Afro Ken Doko Mien
